La Bohème

The first collection of French song sheet music graded by level of difficulty, CrocK’MusiC offers a clear path from level 1 to 9, designed by piano teachers. The works, drawn mainly from the French chanson repertoire, speak immediately to the student: they build on familiar melodies, stimulate listening, make reading easier and recreate a direct link with the instrument.

Technique stops being an obstacle and becomes a lever; CrocK’MusiC is not an alternative to the traditional repertoire, it is a parallel path that leads naturally back to it.

Aline Sans’s piano transcription of this monument of French chanson is adapted here to offer a perfect balance between Aznavour’s lyrical emotion and pianistic demands, while respecting the spirit of the upper-intermediate levels.

Difficulty level: ⑦ (Fairly difficult pieces)
This level 7 score helps to enrich sonority and consolidate the independence of the hands.
Learning focuses on:
- Rhythm: mastering the slow waltz and the dramatic progression, with specific work on the contrasts between verses and choruses.
- Technique: performing a flowing left-hand accompaniment and handling the expressive interpretation of the melody in the right hand.
- Clarity: an airy layout in A minor, careful and complete engraving with fingerings.

Crock'Music scores include the lyrics and are printed on sturdy natural Rives 170g paper.
These individual scores are available in songbook form, but also as downloads.
